FIVE GOOD REASONS TO SELL THROUGH AN AGENT

1. Knowledge of the market. Fixing a home's selling price is a difficult exercise. In addition to being neutral-your emotions could distort your assessment of the real value of your homerealtors know the market in your area as well as comparable properties. This allows them to decide on an appropriate selling price.

2. Home staging. Through their experience and expertise, realtors can advise you on what improvements should be made to your home before it's put on the market, as well as the best ways to make it look as attractive as possible. Besides, they're sure to have some home staging professionals among their many contacts.

3. The listing. Photos, description, certificate of location and inspection report: a realtor makes sure your sales listing is complete.

4. Marketing. By using the services of a real estate agency, you give more visibility to your property and you can let skilled professionals handle the marketing. Your chances of selling quickly are much higher.

5. Organization. Managing phone calls, promoting the property, planning visits and assessing potential buyers: do you really have the time and skills to take care of everything? And don't forget that you'll have to tidy up and clean your home before every visit.

Realtors are experienced negotiators who can get the best price for your property, while respecting the buyer. Best of all, they support you throughout the sales process.

BUYING A HOME: WHY HAVE IT INSPECTED?

You've found a house you'd like to buy? What is the condition of its roof, foundation, heating and air conditioning systems, electrics, plumbing, insulation, ventilation, interior and exterior walls and ceilings? That is what a home inspection is for. It tells you what kind of shape the physical structure is in as well as the condition of the systems installed in it. The most important thing is to detect major flaws that could reduce the building's value or pose a risk of danger in the future.

Consequently, when the inspector gives you this report, you'll know the exact state of the home you've set your heart on and you can predict the cost of any necessary maintenance work that needs to be done in the foreseeable future. If the house will require some urgent and expensive work, such as re-roofing, you can use the report as leverage in demanding that the necessary repairs be done or in negotiating a lower selling price.

If you made an offer conditional to a satisfactory inspection which then reveals a defect, you can withdraw from the transaction without a problem. In the case of a hidden defect, the inspection report will show that you took all the necessary precautions at the time of purchase.

In short, having the property of your dreams inspected before you buy it is the best way to avoid unpleasant surprises and unexpected expenses.

WHAT TYPE OF HOME SUITS YOU?

Would you love to buy your own home? An important investment like this should never be undertaken lightly. Not only do you have to take the time to choose your new home and neighborhood carefully, but you must first decide which type of property best suits your needs, both now and in the future. Single family, semi-detached, townhome or home with a rental property - they all have their advantages and disadvantages.

SINGLE FAMILY HOME

Single-family homes are very popular and have many advantages, including more privacy. You can also build and modify at will, inside and outside. In other words, you can knock down walls, build a garage or plant a vegetable garden. A singlefamily home may not be the best option for you if you don't have the time or inclination to mow the lawn, shovel snow, maintain the roof and clean the gutters.

SEMI-DETACHED

Usually cheaper than a singlefamily home, a semi-detached has some of the advantages of the latter, including privacy. However, since two properties are built on the same land, you have less space outside. On the other hand, there is less maintenance work. If you buy a semi-detached home, make sure the dividing wall is thick enough to block any noise from the neighboring unit.

TOWNHOMES

A townhome is great for people who don't want the hassle of looking after a yard. On the downside, a townhome is a lot less private than a house. You must also be careful to choose a building where the other owners have a similar lifestyle to your own. In addition, sharing common areas will often mean that you have to agree with them on how the building is maintained and managed.

HOMES WITH RENTAL UNITS

Buying a home that includes a rental unit may allow you to access the property market more easily; the rent you receive will help you pay your mortgage. A lot of your expenses will also be tax deductible. You should also be good with your hands for maintenance jobs.

Of course, there are other types of homes that may suit you, such as attached homes. Your real estate agent will be able to help you find the right property for your requirements
